There is a new browser-based Strategy/MMO just up.
It is an all PVP game, where you build up / train / equip an army and send it to pillage your foes. It is currently in open beta right now, and is accepting players.
It is completely free to play.
Basically, it's a text-based browser game. It's all PVP. You get some citizens everyday, you can put them to work as: Miner, Soldier, Guard. You can equip your army with different weapons and armor. You can also supplement your main army with Hellpigs( they are not equippable, and are worth a set att/def value) they are cheap but die easily in combat. You also have a set of skills that you can upgrade, these will either upgrade your attack/defense, upgrade the amount of citizens you get on a daily basis, etc.
x-fire web game detection is set up.
There is also a referral - reward system, where you can get free in-game cash and citizens for referring your friends to play.
It's a great time-waster. You can get online and play for about 10-15 mins, about twice daily and keep up with the rest of the players.

Merry Christmas from the SecondEarth: Faction Wars team. We've been busy upgrading our graphics and adding some new holiday-themed items and graphics.

We are running 3 events from now until Christmas, come give them a try and give us your opinion.

The events are:

Hungry Hungry Reindeer : Help the reindeer recover their stolen food so they have enough energy to transport the "bearded stranger" to deliver gifts. In doing so you will be rewarded with special holiday-themed items.

Stuff your Stocking: By successfully attacking another player, you have a chance of getting a stocking. The stocking may include (but not limited to) Units, citizens, gold, xp, boosters, pieces, and sapphires.

Bonus Sapphires event: Earn bonus Sapphires when you get any Sapphires. See the forum for details.

We have added some more quests and new artifacts to make your character more powerful. We have added the ability to buy bolt packs with sapphires. We also have a double sapphire sale going on right now.
